Abstract: A measurement system includes an illumination unit, imaging unit, acquisition unit and correction unit. A measurement target is irradiated with illumination light. The imaging unit captures an image of light reflected by or transmitted through the measurement target. The acquisition unit acquires positional relationship information representing a positional relationship between the illumination unit and the measurement target and between the imaging unit and the measurement target. The correction unit corrects a luminance of at least one of the illumination light emitted by the illumination unit and the captured image based on the positional relationship information in such a way as to correct a luminance change of the measurement target image, wherein at least two of the measurement target, the illumination unit, and the imaging unit are variable in spatial position.

The detection unit detects in-focus information for a corresponding area for the target area in each of the layer images. The display control unit displays an image indicating a positional relationship between the target area and the corresponding area which is closer to an in-focus state than the target area, along with the target area on the display apparatus, based on the result from the detection unit.

Abstract: For example, display image input units 131R, 131L detect additional information indicating left and right directionality from images for display. Then, in a stereoscopic display device having a display device for the right eye and a display device for the left eye, a switcher 132 capable of switching the connections between input and output input-output is controlled so that the correct image for display is provided to the correct display device. With such a configuration, even when the cables are connected incorrectly, it is still possible to input stereoscopic images to the stereoscopic display device so that such images are always displayed in the correct left-right relation.
